Last week's Allardyce claims said the plan was for Ross to get them to the Premier League, then Allardyce comes in. He managed West Ham in the Championship though.
Thing is, in 2019 the PL is already extinct for dinosaurs like Allardyce, Pulis, Pardew, Hughes etc (obviously we have Bruce). Give it 2 or 3 more years and he'll be even more out of place.
